Video: Inventing on Principle

We just had a moment similar to the time we first saw content-aware scaling in action, but this time it’s even better — we’ve seen the future of programming tools and it looks awesome.

Check out the video above of Bret Victor‘s recent talk, “Inventing on Principle.” Victor has worked on experimental UI concepts at Apple and also created the interactive data graphics for Al Gore’s book, Our Choice. The video above of Victor’s keynote at the Canadian University Software Engineering Conference, captures a wonderful talk on living your life based on principles, but for many developers what’s most arresting are the software development tools demoed.

Do your current tools suddenly feel incredibly outdated? Perhaps you thought you were using a well-tuned coding machine but suddenly realize you’re really just hitting two stones together? Thought so. Sadly, the apps demoed in the video aren’t available. That’s all right, though; it just means someone needs to build them. Be sure to let us know if you do.

Historically, and in a variety of ancient writings, ZION has referred to fortresses, castles, towers, citadels and temples. The commonly understood inference is that ZION is a “safe place” where one can go to feel secure, protected and cared for.

Using the word ZION in our name symbolizes the fact that our clients finally feel like they’ve “come home” when they find us. Their previous frustrations and fears fade away as they come to realize that the only values we understand are excellence, integrity and reliability. We go the extra mile for our clients, and in turn, they enthusiastically recommend us to their colleagues and friends.

We are dedicated to conducting business in a way that is transparent, honest & honorable, and adhering to these principles is paramount when dealing with our clients. Our Philosophy reflects our commitment to these principles.
